• Data collection: Our Health Equity Council analyzes data to address disparities and improve patient outcomes, including data from our more than 8.6 million annual patient encounters across Florida communities.

We remain focused on the safety of our patients by supporting safety initiatives and sharing best practices across our facilities. These initiatives include:

• Enhanced Surgical Recovery (ESR) program

We are committed to helping our colleagues achieve their personal and professional goals and ensuring that everyone on our team feels fulfilled in their career.

Leadership Institute

Our Leadership Institute advances our vision by building strategic and operational capabilities, rapidly deploying best practices and cultivating leaders who exemplify our values. We also offer colleagues student loan assistance and tuition assistance programs.

Creating connections through our Colleague Networks

We've launched virtual networks to give colleagues the chance to meet and network with peers who have shared experiences and commonalities. Our Colleague Networks include groups for veterans, Black colleagues, women, young professionals, LGBTQ+ colleagues, Hispanic/Latinx colleagues, Asian and Pacific Islander colleagues and colleagues with disabilities and their allies — each with a senior leader serving as executive sponsor.

Supporting veterans

We have a longstanding connection to the U.S. armed forces, military veterans and their families. Since 2012, we have hired more than 40,000 veterans, active-duty personnel and military spouses. In 2021, the Military Times named HCA Healthcare one of the country’s best employers for military-connected employment programs, benefits and support. We have also been nationally recognized as a military-friendly employer and military spouse friendly employer for 11 consecutive years by VIQTORY.

More than ever, healthcare workers are under tremendous pressure to care for their communities in the midst of greater demands and fewer care providers. We’re here to support our colleagues with programs including:

Nurse Care: This free, confidential, 24/7 support program and counseling service gives full-time and part-time hospital-based nurses remote access to licensed psychologists, social workers and marriage and family therapists.

Doctor On Demand: Colleagues with an eligible medical plan can speak with a board-certified physician any time, day or night, through this telehealth service.

Optum: This partnership offers colleagues and members of their immediate household free counseling sessions. Colleagues can also access free apps, resources and referral services to find help with anything from home maintenance to legal support.

Motivation Alliance: Our colleagues can access a free custom version of this service, which provides tools for managing stress and anxiety.

Whether through volunteering our time, making charitable donations or partnering with other organizations, we are committed to creating healthier tomorrows for our Florida communities.

HCA Healthcare Hope Fund

The HCA Healthcare Hope Fund is a colleague-run, colleague-supported 501(c)(3) charity that helps colleagues and their immediate families when faced with financial hardship due to natural disaster, illness/injury, domestic violence, death of a loved one or other difficult situations.
